Kelsey Grammer Stars in Sci-Fi Mystery Lars Shrike Walks the Night, Streaming July 24

Science fiction and psychological mystery come together later this month as Lars Shrike Walks the Night arrives on Digital HD. Distributed by Filmhub, the independent feature from writer and director Gary Walkow will be available to rent or own beginning July 24, with six-time Emmy Award winner Kelsey Grammer leading the cast in the film’s title role.

Lars Shrike Walks the Night follows the latest chapter in Walkow’s loosely connected series of films that began with the 1987 Sundance Grand Jury Prize winner The Trouble with Dick. David Clennon, who originally portrayed Lars in that film, returns in the new feature as Richard Kendred, continuing a story that also includes Crashing (2007) and The Trouble with Dot & Harry (2015).

The film centers on Lars Shrike, a man who remembers only his name and that he has escaped from somewhere. As he wanders through an isolated desert landscape, he attempts to uncover his identity while memories, hallucinations, and reality begin to overlap. The mystery raises questions about whether Shrike is fleeing a prison planet, struggling with a fractured mind, or experiencing something even more unusual.

Joining Grammer and Clennon are Christine Lin (Surfside Girls) and Kati Schwartz (The Adventures of Cliff Booth). Ahead of the release, Walkow described the film as an exploration of “the terrors and thrills of existence,” inviting audiences to decide for themselves what is real as the story unfolds.
